Some people have been asking which communities they should join first, so I posted some remote communities you can subscribe to on the sidebar on the homepage :)

Tech → !technology@beehaw.org
News → !news@beehaw.org
Gaming → !gaming@beehaw.org
Memes → !memes@sopuli.xyz
Privacy → !privacy@lemmy.ca
FOSS → !foss@beehaw.org
Monero → !monero@monero.town
Music → !music@beehaw.org
Books → !literature@beehaw.org
LGBT → !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org
Nature → !greenspace@beehaw.org
Sports → !sports@beehaw.org
Programming → !programming@beehaw.org

Find another cool community? Leave a comment :)

There's also this universal community search tool you can try using. If you find a community, just copy its URL and paste it in /search to subscribe to it here. This just goes to show that while there might not be many local communities here on lemmy.one yet, the beauty of the fediverse means that doesn't matter!

I'm here from reddit, and thank you for these recommendations. Time for my neuroplasticity to kick in so I can learn how all this works.

[–] sbowesuk@lemmy.one 10 points 2 years ago

Also here from Reddit. Lemmy actually feels like how Reddit *used *to feel in its early years, i.e. fresh community with fresh ideas. Love it!

Just wanted to say, thanks for hosting this instance! I'm a reddit refuge and this Lemmy instance has been really straightforward on how to get started.

Should this be edited to remove Beehaw now that they have de-federated?

[–] Sileia@lemmy.one 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

AFAIK beehaw defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works. Not lemmy.one at the moment

[–] QuantumEyetanglement@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago

Did not realize this, thanks! 👍

They are only de-federated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works

Lemmy.one is still federated with those two and beehaw.org

That means it has no impact on us at all, afaik. I'm no pro but I just made a new account, after having a beehaw one, on this instance specifically to see if I could still see everything on all three, and I can.

What don't you like about it? I find Beehaw pretty great. The only thing I could think of is that they've defederated some of the larger instances, but it's understandable given their content philosophy and the current state of moderation tools on Lemmy (really terrible).

Join us for all your sports talk over at https://fanaticus.social! We've got communities for all the major sports and their teams.

I also spent the past week forking the popular game day bot, redball, in order to bring game bots to lemmy! There are still a couple of kinks I'm working out but I've begun rolling them out to the teams' communities, starting with the baseball communities.

Check out:

And all the teams-specific communities!

Does anyone know of any communities for pigeons or capybaras (or tbh any other weird-but-cute critters)?

Edit: adding some as I find them:

Does anyone know if you can hide posts in Jerboa? This post and a lemmy.one welcome post are pinned at the top of my feeds, and they take up a lot of room visually. I'd also like to hide posts I've already seen, as on smaller communities I only want to see the occasional new posts, not see the same post from 3 days ago every time.

[–] harelu@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Go to your user settings and uncheck "show read posts", I just recently found it so I dont know how it works exactly, but im assuming once you open a post it will be considered read, and hidden on mexr refresh

I appreciate you taking the time to share! I’ve only messed with Mastodon briefly and the fediverse is a little challenging to navigate at first (in my opinion).

I’ve been a lurker on the subreddit for ages and when I saw your post I decided it was time to check Lemmy out. Thanks for taking the time to set up an instance to keeps the community alive as Reddit implodes. Hopefully this works out or at least can act as a temporary home until we can figure out what is next.

Skywind is officially on lemmy. They are Skyrim mod group that is doing a full conversion mod of Morrowind.

How can I create some for lemmy.one?

[–] Adda@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

See a post regarding community creation on the instance lemmy.one. For example, on lemmy.ml, you have a button at the top of the page beside Create Post to create communities. That is not the case as of now for lemmy.one.

[–] admin@thegarden.land 3 points 2 years ago

Got a great little gardening community over at !gardening@thegarden.land and we’re giving away free seeds to anyone who joins the instance !

[–] angelsomething@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Memmy for iOS makes it super easy to find and join communities. Highly recommended.

[–] waspentalive@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Where are my fellow C programmers? And those who prefer Basic ( qb64 and Gambas welcome too)?

[–] Lazycog@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm still hoping that this community grows here, but so far the only one I found for C is !c_lang@programming.dev (all the other programming languages seem to also have a community on programming.dev instance)

For those who missed /r/gamedeals and /r/buildapcsales while browsing lemmy

It pulls in posts from the reddit subs.

!hfy@lemmy.world - A community for people who write or enjoy reading HFY themed fiction.

What is HFY?

While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.

In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

Hi! Does anyone know any good communities about the following topics:

-longboarding

-possum pictures and/or possum memes

[–] Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Can somebody recommend me a community for people with cPTSD or abusive parents?

[–] NightOwl@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you for this. It's a nice starting point.

I think the reddit hug of love is affecting things today on the 12th.

Just a general question, on a mobile device is using your browser or an app the better experience? And if using an app is Jaebra the one most people use?

[–] girthero@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago

I'm actually impressed it seems to be holding up rather well from what I'm seeing. Is there anywhere to view the uptick in traffic?

[–] jonah@lemmy.one 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I prefer the browser to apps personally, this is actually one of the main reasons I like Lemmy over Reddit and it's unusable mobile view. You'll find plenty of mobile app users here too and it sounds like it works fine, I'll just caution that some (all?) of them sound like they're feature-incomplete, so if you ever think something is missing from Lemmy, double-check on the website first, because it might just not be added to the app yet.

I was going down the universal search tool list, subscribing to the communities that I was interested in, and I ran into an issue trying to sub to some of the communities. Thankfully I was able to quickly find the answer - anything that is on the block list under https://lemmy.one/instances you are not able to subscribe to from this instance.

[–] voynich@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

Glad to see that Lemmygrad is on the blocklist.
